Whether for protection from theft or vandals, an outdoor security camera system is a wise investment. They can be either high profile or low. The style would be determined by the intention of the owner.
If the main reason for the security system is as a deterrent, then a high profile system would be best suited for this purpose. The owner can place security cameras in many highly visible locations so the property may appear as secure as Fort Knox. If the cameras are stationary then three on each corner of the building would be intimidating. More could be placed under the eaves of the building to view the sides of the building. The most intimidating would be to have 2 or more at the entrance to the property. This might sound expensive, but these cameras are for intimidation not viewing. There are non-functioning cameras available that look just like a real security camera. The number of functioning camera can be normal but the added deterrent of the fake cameras could help keep those unwanted visitors from even thinking about entering your property.
If a low profile is preferred there are enclosures that can hid the fact that there is a camera inside. This type of system is mainly used to catch employees of business that are stealing from the company. Many are incorporated into the normal outdoor security camera system, but are not seen. Being hidden in ceilings and on loading docks, they can help catch the perpetrators in the act and be used as evidence in court as necessary.
When deciding on an outdoor security camera system, as the owner of the property, first decide what will be its main purpose.
Crime is on the rise, and decisions that you make that protect your family are among the most crucial you will ever make. Evil things can happen when the sun goes down an no one is watching. Don't just sit there and wait to become a number on the evening news.
